DMV methods just very sad

My husband and I noticed we never received our registration renewal for our car, due in July.
We went to the DMV to pay the registration. They would not take our money because all the fees are going up in July. Just the fact they never sent a bill is just plain wrong, forcing us to wait until the fees went up.
Just another example of state and government control. Very sad they feel they must resort to this kind of control.
